1 De facto standards interoperating in the real world: VIVO/ORCID/CASRAI 8 August 2018 VIVO 2014 Austin, Texas, USA Rebecca Bryant, PhD Director of Community, ORCID

2 We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life of Oxford s researchers for working with institutional systems and publishers systems by re-using already available information for publication data management and reporting. The motto is: Input once re-use often. Wolfram Horstmann, Associate Director, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

3 What are standard identifiers? Numeric or alpha-numeric persistent designations associated with a single entity Entities can be an institution, person, or piece of content

4 and what do they do, exactly? Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness Enable linking and data integration In other words, persistent identifiers provide a simple basis for data governance

5 Name Ambiguity Is a Problem J. Å. S. Sørensen J. Aa. S. Sørensen J. Åge S. Sørensen J. Aage S. Sørensen J. Åge Smærup Sørensen J. Aage Smaerup Sørensen

6 What is ORCID? The ORCID Organization Non-profit, nonproprietary, open, and community-driven Global, interdisciplinary Supported by the membership of organizations using the ORCID API Funding organizations Professional societies Universities & research institutes Publishers The ORCID Unique, persistent identifier for researchers & scholars Free to researchers Can be used throughout one s career, across professional activities, disciplines, nations & languages Embedded into workflows & metadata API enables interoperability between siloed systems 6

7 Facilitating interoperable exchange of information The ORCID API enables the exchange of information between systems: Less time rekeying Improved data Easier maintenance Better sharing across systems FundRef Grants DOI ISBN Thesis ID Repositories Researcher Information Systems Publishers DOI Society membership Other ISNI identifiers Researcher ID Scopus Author ID Internal identifiers 7 Ringgold organizational IDs

16 CROSS-BORDER PROBLEM ADMIN BURDEN TOO HIGH & BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE TOO LOW RESEARCH TEAMS - increasingly timeconsuming to adhere to largely common administrative requirements; must retype the same data repeatedly when applying for funding or reporting; 42% overhead (FDP surveys - the needle is NOT yet moving) ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGERS - lack robust data on the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations and evidence of the difference their interventions make. POLICYMAKERS/EVALUATORS - consistently frustrated by an inability to draw meaningful conclusions from a growing mountain of disconnected data TOOL SUPPLIERS - are building customized tools for each stakeholder based on silos; harder to scale and launch in new markets; more expensive for each funder or institutional client.

17 CASRAI AT A GLANCE COLLECTIVE EFFORT TOWARDS COMMON BUSINESS INFORMATION AGREEMENTS CASRAI MISSION: to standard global business agreements that enhance the management & flow of information within & between organizations collaborating in research & innovation. COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH ADMIN: increasingly complex multiplicity of organizations, disciplines and countries that all must share work processes and information in order to advance and measure the research enterprise. BUSINESS FOCUS: the standards are businessneeds driven, not technology-driven; subject experts from member orgs focus on the content each organization needs in shared work processes - not on what software tools your ICT team is using. LEAST COST, MOST SCALABILITY: CASRAI approach has the smallest footprint of any multi-org agreement framework; lessons learned from other domains; the only sustainable solution at research scale

19 CASRAI is envisioned as a shipping container system for research administration

20 CASRAI VIEW OF RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION INSTITUTION INSTITUTION INSTITUTION FUNDER FUNDER FUNDER INDUSTRY INDUSTRY FUNDER FUNDER INSTITUTION INSTITUTION INDUSTRY

21 CASRAI CONTAINERS THE THIN ORANGE LINE OF BUSINESS INTEROPERABILITY AGREEMENT! TERMS - every shared concept gets a unique ID, label, definition & basic relationship RECORDS/REPORTS - every shared business process gets a portable data object that groups information into common reports like CVs, Progress/Outputs Reports, Financial Reports, Impact Reports, etc.! FIELDS - discrete data elements that comprise records; FirstName, StartDate, TemporalPeriod, AnnualAward, etc. LISTS - codes tables/authority files that constrain values in some fields; Research Classification, Degree Types, Funding Organizations, etc. IDs - unique identifiers (not org-specific) that are key to cross-border integrity of data; PersonIDs, ProjectIDs, OutputIDs, OrgIDs, etc.

22 CASRAI NETWORKS INTERNATIONALLY INTEGRATED COMMUNITIES SHARED GOVERNANCE - CASRAI standard projects bring together the right leadership and subject expertise to deliver harmonized information requirements - one prioritized step at a time. SHARED COSTS - modest sums from multiple sources ensures egalitarian & communitysupported sustainability in times of increased budget pressure SHARED PROCESSES - research is a highly collaborative and cooperative effort; processes cross many boundaries - organization, discipline, nation. Enables cross-boundary sharing without forcing tech platforms SHARED SUCCESS - reducing administrative costs and risks while also increasing the analytical capacity of all stakeholders is a shared win-win - for researchers and their supporting organizations

23 KEY TAKE AWAYS WHY CARE? LOCAL CUSTOMIZATIONS REDUCE INTEROPERABILITY - if every instance can be customized how do we maintain a layer of agreement? NO MECHANISM FOR SPECIFYING CONTEXT - How can we focus on only certain data elements for a given business process and not need everything to do anything?! MANY TECHNOLOGIES - How can agreements be implemented in semantic web solutions and also be interoperable with relational or other modes of storage - without repeating the agreement process? SHOT-GUN APPROACH - There are dozens if not hundreds of projects around the world tackling ways to represent concepts and things - how can we collaborate outside of specific technologies and reuse our agreements?

41 Example CASRAI CV

42 Combining VIVO and CASRAI VIVO provides the ingredients for a CV There is a good match from VIVO entities to CASRAI All the major building blocks are present First needs a detailed mapping Exchange data between VIVO and CONVERIS Generate a CASRAI CV profile via CONVERIS 18

43 Conclusion Challenges Implementing standards in a complementary way Flexibility boon and bane of standardization Universality Coordination/collaboration/education is the most important part as there are many initiatives out there CERIF: Common European Research Information Format SciENcv Kerndatensatz OpenAIREplus
